Summary
Reoperative aortic root replacement can be challenging. Utilizing rapid-deployment aortic valve prostheses offers a safe alternative to avoid complex reoperations in select patients.
Area of Science:
- Cardiovascular Surgery
- Thoracic Surgery
- Medical Devices
Background:
- Reoperative aortic root replacement after prior prosthesis implantation is technically demanding.
- Traditional reoperations carry significant risks and complexities.
- Biologic and mechanical valved conduits are common aortic root prostheses.

Aortic Regurgitation III: Medical Management
349
Aortic regurgitation (AR) is when the aortic valve does not close or seal properly, leading to backward blood circulation from the aorta into the left ventricle during diastole. Common causes of AR include rheumatic heart disease, congenital valve defects, and aortic root dilation. Managing AR requires a multifaceted approach to alleviate symptoms, preserve left ventricular function, and address the underlying cause of the regurgitation. Patients with symptomatic AR or significant left...

Aortic Regurgitation I: Introduction
419
IntroductionAortic regurgitation is characterized by the backward flow of blood from the aorta into the left ventricle during diastole and arises from the improper closure of the aortic valve. This condition results in left ventricular volume overload and can stem from both acute and chronic etiologies, each contributing uniquely to the disease's progression and symptomatology.Acute and Chronic CausesAcute aortic regurgitation often results from events that suddenly impair the integrity of the...
